The thin will wick in too far so if you have tight pins they will be = really tight. Only try it in a few at first so as to get a feel for what the outcome = will be with the glue you are using Joe Goss RPT Mother Goose Tools imatunr@srvinet.com www.mothergoosetools.com ----- Original Message -----=20 From: Michael Gamble=20 To: pianotech@ptg.org=20 Sent: Wednesday, June 08, 2005 11:06 AM Subject: re:Kawai CA-40 Hello List From SunnySussex where we have a problem with one of our pianos at = Glyndebourne. Doesn't stay in tune. This is not one I tune for there are = two of us and this is a rehearsal stage piano. My colleague asked me to = have a go at it while he stood by. It seems it was tuned just yesterday = and already the top two breaks were in trouble and the effect was = creeping down into the middle break - unisons weren't unison. Yuk! So I = inspected it and found there is quite a lot of Joe G's "flag-poling" = going on. Of course you recognise the model (it also has MII stencilled = on the web beside the CA-40). My gut feeling is there is too much "give" = in those wrest-pin bushings. I was just wondering whether a good old = dose of CA might not be in order...it might just harden those = bushings...What do you think? Over to you! From a sunny Sussex evening in the Downland Village. The Elm trees at = the bottom of my garden have Dutch Elm Disease and tomorrow they're all = being cut down. The condition is shewn by a black ring between the bark = and the wood - a knife cut will reveal the problem.
